Abstract

The sustainable Development Goals proposed by United Nations are increasingly becoming integrated in socioeconomic and environmental projects. Eco-challenges have also been widely studied and documented. Several researchers have well defined and documented what is sustainable development and how can be it achieved. However, fewer studies have investigated farmers and herdsmen preferences and awareness for United Nations Sustainable goals and eco-challenge. Based on Previous studies reported by United Nations Development Agency, seventeen sustainable development goals and nine eco-challenges were included in this study. In this study, the authors use the balanced incomplete block design to collect data from 136 respondents.
